As i currently have:
a) no job
b) no bike
c) no car
I thought i'd cheer myself up a bit, so i went out and bought a car:

For the car anoraks/blind/stupid, it's a N/A JDM Mk2 MR2 G-limited. I went for the Jap-spec as it had (in order of preference) climate control, an LSD, slightly more punt than the UK model (about 10bhp woohooo!). Didn't fancy a T-Bar, as i've already had one of them (which a g/f of the time destroyed by exiting a wet roundabout backwards and interfacing with a dual-carriageway crash-barrier)and they weigh quite a bit more (all the bracing for the roof, see).
Now, (stand by for the hilarity) i suppose i shall have to change my BCF username to MisterTwo.
Ah-ha-ha-ha.

Given the colour and type of car, you will look a bit of a queer in it thought ... or is that the image you are trying to portray???  ____________________ The purpose of life is to fight maturity. |

I had a rev1 mk2 for a couple of years, only sold it because I needed the money to go traveling
They sound good with an aftermarket airfilter kit, the induction roar from a few inches behind your head is awesome
But like your girlfriend found out, a bit of a handful in the wet.

I had a rev5 UK car. It didn't have climate control but IIRC they all have a LSD. Watch those wheels. The suspension is Macpherson strut so it doesn't handle road camber very well. This means that if you fit super low profile tyres to huge rims, your contact patch will not be the same as if you use 15" wheels.

I clicked on this thread with baited breath, almost sure that I was about to find something a little more .... well ..... Norfolk-ish. Still, a nice enough motor . ____________________ Current: ZZR1400

Most week nights - nothing quite like an al fresco fap to ease the tensions of a busy day.
What annoys me is the bloody cyclists - there i am with a clenched jaw, a bead of sweat on my brow, gurning my way to the vinegar strokes when some beardy brummy bastard cycles past and i have to momentarily tuck my old chap away and start from scratch again.
Wankers, the lot of 'em. ____________________ Space Monkey #7

My dads had 3 MR2's, all were MK2's.
I believe hes had one rev 1 (which he dropped the arse out of, twas coughing blue smoke), a rev 3 (which he sold for the hell of it) and another rev 3 T-bar (which was stuck in the garage awaiting new brake disks and pads for 8 months... eventually sold on ebay with brake disks and pads in its boot ).

I remember when I was nout but younster, my mate had a mk 1, and decided to give 4 of us a lift home from the pub. 5 people in a mk1 is a challange, he was driving, 3 in the front seat and I managed to fit under the bonnet!  ____________________ How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could Chuck Norris?
